Im Marinehafen Den Helder hat am Nachmittag bei grauem Himmel die Fregatte Evertsen abgelegt, um sich auf den Weg in Richtung Englischer Kanal zu machen. Dort wird sie sich als niederländischer Beitrag der UK Carrier Strike Group anschließen. Bedingt durch die Coronaregeln war die Pier zwar nicht voller Menschen, trotzdem ließen sich Freunde und Familienangehörige einen Abschied nicht nehmen. Vom Parkplatz aus und mit dem gebotenen Abstand wünschten sie ihren Liebsten lautstark eine gute Reise. Für die richtige klangliche Untermalung hatte die Koninklijke Marine Tröten an die Familienangehörigen verteilt. Mit Freude schaut Fregattenkapitän George Pastoor auf die kommenden Monate:...
